Masoli feeling “almost 100 percent”

Though Mike Bellotti didn’t make any commitments about the quarterbacks for Saturday’s game against Stanford, six-game starter Jeremiah Masoli said today he should be ready to go.

Masoli injured his right ankle at Cal last week and sat out Monday’s practice before returning Tuesday for non-contact situations.

“The first couple days were real sore, real stiff,” Masoli said after practice tonight. “But yesterday and today felt great. Yesterday was, like, 70, 80 percent. Now I feel almost 100 percent. I’m sure by Saturday, with a couple more treatments, I’ll be fine.”

Bellotti said Masoli had “a great day yesterday” and was “very good” when the coach watched him today.

“You wouldn’t even know he was hurt,” Bellotti said.

That said, Justin Roper (or, I suppose, Darron Thomas) still may play against the Cardinal. And other changes could be in store.

“I’m still not ruling out that we’d play more than one quarterback,” Bellotti said. “We may juggle the lineup at receiver, we may juggle the lineup on the offensive line.”

I’m expecting Drew Davis to start at wideout, ahead of Jaison Williams, and for Bo Thran to open Saturday’s game at left guard. Also, the placekicking battle between incumbent Matt Evensen and challenger Morgan Flint has “been very competitive, and again, there may be a change there,” Bellotti said.

On the injury front, the Ducks seem remarkably healthy for this point in the season. Ellis Krout (ankle) is sidelined again, for at least a week, but Jamere Holland (sick) and Dion Jordan (knee) returned today. And LeGarrette Blount said his sprained wrist “won’t bother me at all.”

Blount had his entire hand wrapped in padding Monday and Tuesday but said he’d probably just tape it up Saturday.
